(Color Edition) Not all men live the same lives. From his experiences as a war veteran in Iraq to the time he has spent in Maximum and minimum security psych units, Adan has lived a life worth briefing. All the while he was experiencing life as a passenger, he took out time to play chess and played against some true masters of the game. He noticed that the game of life and chess were not quite different from one another. He wanted to write this book to reflect on his experiences of life, which many would deem insane. But there is sanity even in insanity; only one who has been on the other side of this scale could tell you. After the death of his brother, his experiences with many sorts of drugs caused him to not only hear voices but had begun to corrupt his soul. The span of time he spent in Iraq while witnessing the utmost brutality and his willingness to speak the truth of it all is what makes this book so special. But life is not that different from the game of chess, pawns on board moved by whoever, however. Come join the book on the journey it takes its readers on in a series of ups and downs, moments of chaos, and life of sheer insanity, all the while keeping the essence of chess alive. There is a darker side to life that many of us do not get to experience; most don’t even know of its existence. We welcome you.
